Rusty James runs into his old friend Steve, whom he hasn't seen in all that time. They are on the beach, far from the original action. Rusty James has been "bumming around," not working since getting out of the reformatory after serving five years, and Steve is on vacation from college, where he's studying to become a high school teacher. Steve invites Rusty James to dinner, an invitation he has no intention of accepting. Steve is too much of a reminder of some bad times.

Write a list of 10 creative reasons why your doorbell rings but no one is there. Choose the best reasons and write a poem.

marin [14]

Answer:

He rang the bell, then jumped in the bush-

Yes, it was his favorite thing; the button to push-

He waited for her to open the door-

And to realize, "The bell rang, what for?"-

He watched as she walked around the front porch-

She struck a match, and lit the torch-

It burned so very bright, and she could see-

The one whom rang the doorbell; it was he!-

She took a step closer, and to her surprise-

He ran away; bringing tears to her eyes-

He yearned so badly, oh for a kiss-

Yet all he could do was reminisce-

Of the time when he was hers-

Before they were separated by the curse.

- C.

The basic part of a word that is also the source of its essential meaning is called a _____

amm1812

root - the basic part of a word
example: reCONSTRUCTion

prefix - an addition before the root of a word
example: REconstruction

suffix - an addition at the end of the root of a word
example: reconstructION

The root is what contributes to the basic meaning of a word - prefixes and suffixes serve to narrow down the meaning - who, when, how, in what tense
example: re - again
construct - to build
ion - the action of

So the word RECONSTRUCTION would mean "the action of building again."

Hope that helped! Good luck! :)

P.S. Although you didn't ask for it, the subject is the object in the sentence that is performing the predicate
example: The girl ran to the store.
girl - subject
ran - predicate

It doesn't really have much in common with roots, prefixes and suffixes, all which are similar in function Source(s): Teaching English
